CHRISTIAN TEMME, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

COOKING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 245,673, dated August 1 6, 1881,

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN TEMME, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cooking Stoves or Ranges, ot which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements iu side-Hue cooking stoves or ranges, and has for its object amore even and perfect distribution ofthe heat over the bottom otthe oven, to thus prevent the overheating of the center portion ot the oven, which is a serions defect usual to the ordinary side or three lined cooking-stove. l attain this object by the construction illustratedin the accompanyingdrawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section; Fig. 2, a sectional plan viewat line w x,- Fig.3, a transverse section at line x and Fig. 4 a detail transverse section at line x2 x2.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings I have illustrated myinvention as applied to the ordinary form of threeiiue cooking stove or range.

The iirst novel feature of my invention consists iu the provision ot' acasin g, A, arran ged so as'to form adiving and outlet iiue, B, which communicates with the center due, C, under the bottom ot' the stove and extends up the side ot' the stove, and is provided with a collar, as usual, for the attachment of the stove-pipe.

The second novel feature of my invention consists informing the back due, D, continuous across the stove withinclined dedectin g plates or partition d for deiiecting the heated gases, smoke, &c., into the side tlues, E E, as clearly indicated in Fig. 4.

F is a damper controlling the discharge of the heated gases, Src., either directly into the outlet-due B or into the stoveeiiues D E E, as required.

The action of my improvement is as follows: The heated gases, Ste., passing down the back tine, D, are deflected by plates al into the side fines, E, and passing along through the same are discharged at front into the center liuc, C, from which flue O they pass into the diving outlet-due B in manner indicated by arrows on the drawings.

The main advantage derived from my i|n provement is thatitn'io're eftectually and evenly distributes the heat over the bottom of the oven, and thus prevents theoverheating ofthe central portion ot' said oven, which is a very objectionable feature met with in the ordinary three-due cooking-stove.

Having thus fully described my said inven-` tion, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A three-liuc cooking stove or range pro vided with an eXit-iiue,B, communicating Willi the center tine, O, and extending transversely across the bottom from the center iue and up the side ot' the stove, as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. A cooking stove or range having its back tine continuous across the stove, and inclined plates or partitions d, in combination with the bottom iiues, (l E E, and exit'iue B, all arranged substantially as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony of said invention witness my hand at St. Louis, Missouri, this 23d day ot' March, 1881.

O HRISTIAN TEM ME.

In presence of ROBERT BURNS, A. C. SCHUHMAN.
